Beth and Matthew have been my first house sitters - and I was their first house sit too. Beth and Matthew have been great. I was a little nervous as this was the first time I've the zeewoi platform and service. Beth contacted me to let me know that one of my dogs had a sore on her chest and sent me a video to let me see and decide what to do. We agreed my dog needed to be seen by a vet and within a few hours my dog had antibiotics. Beth even popped into a shop to buy my dog a jumper to wear as the vet had recommended this to stop her scratching the sore. When I got home Beth had washed all their bedding and the house was clean and tidy. Both Beth and Matthew are a lovely couple and I would definitely recommend them both if you are looking for reliable and trustworthy house and pet sitters.
Erica was great! Easy to communicate with and very self -sufficient when we ended up being out of service for several days. Pingo and the house were clearly in good hands, we came back to a spotless house with a freshly made bed and a happy dog. We'd definitely have Erica again!
I am so grateful to Victoria for taking such wonderful care of my elder cats,, Zoe and Mischief, my home and my garden! She stayed in touch, and even sent photos of Zoe and Mischief, which further reassured me that my kitties and my home were in good hands while I was away. In short, I feel lucky to have connected with Victoria through zeewoi, wouldn't hesitate to call on her again, and recommend her without reservation.
This was my first time using zeewoi. Not only did I have to prepare my home for a guest but prepare myself for leaving my boys with someone I had only met through a zoom call. Right away, I was put at ease as Sharon just gravitated right to my boys. She asked questions about info that I had missed in my welcome pack that made me rest assured that she was on the ball. Throughout my trip, Sharon kept in touch with me about how the boys were getting along... I was so relieved hearing that their usual playful selves was apparent. Given that our flight home was going to be late, she insisted on waiting until we were heading out of the airport before leaving the boys with their last walk until we came home. When we walked through our front door, the boys were chilling out, our home was spotless, and she even washed the bedding. I can recommend Sharon with 100% certainty that your pets will be in great hands. Thanks Sharon for everything.
Jaclyn was a wonderful sitter for our dog Tucker! She was always quick to respond to communications, she was easy-going and excited to sit with Tucker, she shared updates (with pictures) while we were away, and she left our house cleaner than when we left - she even ran the dishwasher, which we forgot to do before we left! She and Tucker bonded immediately, and when we returned home it was clear that he had a great time with Jaclyn. We can't recommend her highly enough!
I can’t say enough good things about Felicia! She was willing to come over ahead of time so we could meet her. Lele took an instant liking to her (and I think it was mutual).😁 Felicia showed up on time, checked in on a regular basis while I was away, and sent photos of Lele, too. I tend to over prepare, and Felicia was accepting of that and helped me feel okay about my preparation and absence. I felt very comfortable leaving, knowing the most important thing, Lele, was well taken care of. This is my first time using zeewoi, so I didn’t really know what to expect. Felicia far exceeded all of my hopes and expectations. I would absolutely love to have Felicia come back again!
I am so glad that my cat, Duque, and I met Sharon! She is a wonderful person, very kind with pets, thorough with house care and communicative. Sharon's cleaning (and brownies!) went above and beyond and my cat did not seem to have missed me much when I got home. I recommend Sharon if she applies for your sit and we hope to welcome her back to our home one day.
Julie and Adrian were ideal pet and house sitters. Julie and Damian are very friendly and made sure to go over details and ask questions when they arrived. We came home to very happy and contented pets. Our dog and cat clearly got lots of love and attention (also clear from the great photos that Julie and Adrian sent us). The house was immaculate when we came home. We could not ask for better, more trusted, house sitters.
Although they are experienced pet sitters this was their first sit with zeewoi and they were wonderful. Jyoti (our cat) was completely at ease and spent plenty of time on their laps. The chickens were well looked after and they managed the broody one efficiently. Excellent communication before and during the house sit. They followed our detailed instructions conscientiously and left the house clean and tidy. They cooked a meal for us on our return and we enjoyed getting to know them. We would welcome them back any time and highly recommend them for future sits.
Lea was so wonderful, we highly recommend her. She was friendly and communicative throughout, sending us daily updates and photos. We returned back to a beautifully cleaned house and a very happy cat, we are so grateful- she was an absolute delight

Dropped our dogs off for the weekend, we'll looked after and no problems. Would highly recommend to dog owners.
Awesome kennels, my foxy seemed alot happier after this kennel visit than some in the past. Will definitely be going back
Diane runs a very organized service. My elderly dog is always very pleased to arrive at the kennels and comes home happy and very content
Just had my little albe groomed. Awesome job very happy
Left my neo mastiff at the Kennels for 10 days, supplied chicken mince/ royal canin biscuits for the 10 day period, when picking my dog up he was under weight!! Once home he had brown water poos and throwing up everywhere. Unhappy Customer!!
Biscuit has arrived back from his Easter holiday very happy, clean, calm (as he can be) and in great condition. Thanks for taking such good care of him.
Our pup loves his first doggy daycare stay!! Played with other dogs all day, and was bathed as well and nail trim which we didn’t expect. We have one very tired and happy dog, love it!
Such an amazing place for my Marshie to go to through the days and to stay when we go away. So lucky to have the team at Chesterhope looking after him so well and with so much care and love.
Love this place, where the dogs can play and are cared for beautifully
Left my baby Max at Chesterhope for 5 nights and he absolutely loved it. When i picked him up he smelt so good. The staff are lovely and took really great care of him. Will definitely use this facility again in future. This was my first time putting my furbaby in a boarding kennel and as reluctant as i was to leave him i was so happy to see that the staff at Chesterhope took such great care of him.
We chose St Georges Kennels because of the large kennel size and the ability of dogs to go in and out on their own to get fresh air and lay in the sun. We, and our dog, had a great experience and recommend St George. We'll be back to board again next time we travel. (Another local kennel was highly recommended, but the kennels had no place to move about, were extremely small, and overall felt cramped and overwhelming. Too many dogs and not enough space). St George's kennels accommodated our dogs raw diet and even let us bring a small freezer to store 6 weeks worth of food while we traveled internationally. Communications were great, staff seemed nice. No complaints here, two paws up.
Awesome place to leave a much loved pet. Thankyou gor looking after daisy for us :)
Brilliant stay for our Labrador Bailey! Very knowledgeable and take great care of her- have used them several times with the same great service. Spacious kennels, great sized run for her as well to stay in. Almost pulls our arms off with excitement to go there when we pull up, only to come home and sleep after keeping busy while there. Couldn’t recommend them enough.
The Elite Dog Grooming lady groomed my Bichon, 10 mths old, which was his very first time and she done a great job. See the before and after photos. He looks sooo different.
I cannot thank the team enough for the splendid care of our little Benji they are very caring and friendly. THANKS EVERYONE. Philippa Sims.
The owner of this kennels is dishonourable, refusing to acknowledge or honour an agreement for the provision of services to the kennels for two years. Be wary in your negotiations you may expect the same. Although there are occasional breakouts of kennel cough and mixing of entire males together often resulting in injury to dogs or staff the plentiful staff are usually competent despite the odd death, loss or injury of dogs and they generally mean well.
They took very good care of skyler our dog. Very friendly and great service. Couldn't have asked for better service. Excellent all round.
Cosmo was in great condition when we collected after 3 weeks. Will sure be going back. Great welcome from staff.
Our big boy just loves his visits to St George’s Kennels! He bounds in excitedly and always comes home happy and smelling clean. We’re always comfortable knowing he’s off for his own holiday while we do.
Why would you not take a dog, displaying symptoms of KC, to see a vet? 1) It wasnt your dog 2) Its well known KC can sometimes lead to deadly secondary infections such as lung disease, pneumonia etc. 3) You are meant to run and or own a boarding facility in which sick dogs, especially those that are contagious like KC, should be isolated to avoid the spread! How many other dogs have you now infected with KC? Did Cash catch KC from your facility?! It is my understanding that the lack of knowledge and care from you and your faciltity has unfortunately lead to the death of this poor dog. Dont pass blame to the dog and his owners. Look at yourself and do better. Prevent the same accidents in the future.
Amazing place for a dog to go to. Sarah (the owner) is such a caring dog person. Our dog loves going there every week.
Very professional, great with your fur baby. lots of exercise and rest time for the stimulation of your dog. Fully secure and a great place to take your dog. Highly recommend it.
Sarah at shaggy range is the most conscientious and caring person you could ever hope to leave your pet with. Gold standard doggy daycare
Sarah does a great job not just looking after the dog's but actively training them and looking after their well being full time!
Excellent daycare for dogs Happy and enjoyable place for dogs
